I have a 92 Izuzu Rodeo 3.1L V6. It starts great but when i gas it it staggers a lot when going up hill or on the highway. It is not fuel injected. It has a caborator. Any idea what it can be. I live in Belize :-)

Wires on the wiring harness need to be replaced. The dealer will want you to get the work done for $1200.

"when the fuel pump kicks....it makes a very short duration sound....you can hear it....but in seconds it will be gone......as gasoline has made its way to the engine.........

if you cant hear any noise from the fuel pump......it could be that the fuel pump realy is bad........if you happen to change the relay....and it still does not work.....then it is the fuel pump. that is fried.......

about the water.....i am not shure......unless there was water in the gasoline itself....or somebody put water in there in purpose....

hope this helps...

SOURCE: rodeo won't start after driving until it cools down

it's probably a fuel injection problem. the seals wear or get some little bit of junk in seal surface and are unable to completely close. it's not a problem as long as the engine is running, the seals let in a little more fuel and the computer adjusts for it. after you shut it off the leaky seals let the fuel into the cylinders and then if you try to start it up it is for all intents and purposes a flooded engine. if you don't try to start it again for a good while the fuel that leaked into the cylinders evaporates or runs down into your oil pan. anyway, it's not there and so your engine is not flooded and it starts like it's supposed to. obviously i haven't looked at your vehicle and that's just a guess but it's based on vehicles i have seen. hope that helps

SOURCE: 99 Rodeo 3.2 V6 fuel injected .

sounds like u may need a new fuel pump, the problem is the system doesn't hold fuel pressure after shut down, the check valve that does this is part of the fuel pump in the gas tank.

SOURCE: My Isuzu Rodeo LS V6 2001 ran out of gas and now

get under the truck and hit the tank hard with your hand the pump may be stuck a couple good wacks might work
